Looking at some new pedals for the mtb bike, I found some shoes that seem like a good fit for me. But now, I need pedals. I am looking at the eggbeaters 2 or 3's. Any thoughts or advice?

I've got Candies, hate 'em. The wings are always exposed, so if you hit the bottom of the pedal on a rock you'll step out, or worse, bend the wings. My left pedal has had bent wings since about the third ride with them, makes it impossible to step into without really focusing on it.
went with Time Atac XS pedals for $125.
That tipover when you first start on clipless sucks. Best to practice on grass
I have about 300miles so far with the pedals. Seem to be working out just fine. Easy to get in and out of. They seem pretty robust. I hit them off a couple of rocks and no damage. Just need to remember to get out of them when coming to a stop. Duh!!!

Not the problem. I forgot that I was locked in and came to stop and boom. Getting out is not a problem. It is getting the one remaining brain cell to function properly.
One of the best changes I ever made was leaving Shimao SPDs for Crank Bros. pedals.
Dunno about the Egg Beaters breaking; I've seen lots of them around and don't hear too many complaints. I actually prefer having a platform, so I have Mallets on the trail bike and Candies on the road bike.
